Hi Stephan, > I think this point is moot.

I believe that, too, but it's theory only. Pretty similar to the theory that of course no release should have bugs which the previous release hadn't. But in reality, you will always need to sacrifice those rules - both of them - to higher needs. If you fix an important, urgent, serious, data-killing bug, and notice "too late" (by whatever definition, not only because you ran the tests too late) that you broke something else, then you might decide that it's "worth it". Here, automatic tests are in no way different from manual tests.
